On-line monitoring of MVo2 sat. in vivo by means of fibreoptic reflectometry was studied in 19 patients as to its predictive value during the postoperative course after thoracotomy for periods up to 60 hours. In all but one of the 10 patients with MVo2 sat. less than 65% for at least one hour complications occurred. A fall of MVo2 sat. of more than 5% or a value below 60% predicted a period of hypotension in six patients. In two of them this coincided with a period of ventricular arrhythmias. In those with MVo2 sat. greater than 65% no postoperative complications such as arrhythmias, shock, respiratory dysfunction or oliguria took place.

Pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass has been shown to preserve renal function and could therefore have considerable clinical value in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with preoperative renal insufficiency, by protecting them from further postoperative renal deterioration. Our three-year experience with pulsatile bypass in 29 patients with a preoperative serum creatinine concentration over 1.7 mg/100 ml (mean 2.9, range 1.8-6.1 mg/100 ml) (greater than 150 mumol/l (mean 256, range 159-539 mumol/l] supports this premise. There were no renal deaths in the perioperative period and only two patients had irreversible postoperative deterioration in renal function; one died on day 3 of low-output syndrome and the other had rapidly progressive nephrosclerosis and died of that disease one year later. Postoperative oliguria occurred in the patient with low cardiac output and in only one other. This experience contrasts with our previous experience and that reported by others with non-pulsatile bypass in patients with renal insufficiency. We suggest that pulsatile bypass should be considered for cardiac surgery in patients with preoperative renal dysfunction.
